Originally posted by SKYNETRPI told ya that the English V30 sounded different than the Chinese ones, but I am going to call Cellestian to confirm the other mod you are talking about. I don't see them making a mod like that for one company, but I will wait and hear it from the horses mouth first. I hate to be wrong because I didn't do the research!
Well I don't know either way but Mesa would be one of thier bigger clients so I can't imagine they wouldn't do it for them. Of course I don't see why they wouldn't just call them something else if they were going to mod them since it wouldn't be the same speaker anymore.

Originally posted by SKYNETRPGreat! I will be looking forward to what you find out if you get to do this............good luck. I am not saying that the other guy who already did an A/B on them is not telling the truth, but it just sounded to me like there was far too much difference in the cabs when he described it.
well my aing so far was about a month apart from each other but we took his head to the shop and put a Mesa 4x12 thru it's paces and then he bought the carvin and the difference didn't seem like much. Of course a few weeks had passed and that can change your minds memory quite a bit on sounds.

Originally posted by SKYNETRPKewl, let us know what you find. And please be unbiased. I really AM interested in what you find. I am going to buy like 4 of those cabs soon, and I would like to know what you find first. But you have to be fair. Also if there IS a difference, will you try an independant GEQ before AND after the head on the Carvin and tell us if you can match the Mesa that way?
Well I don't own either cab so I won't have a problem being unbiased (if I get to do this he may come get his cab first). If I do get to I have an MXR eq laying around that I can try out as well.

Originally posted by SKYNETRPFor good reason too. Now, if you were to A/B the cabs, I am sure you can hear a little difference, but not enough to make that price unfavorable for a Carvin.
well my ex-guitarist hasn't come to pick his Legacy cab yet and I think I have a guy coming to audition for the band that has a Mesa cab so I hopefully will get to a them.

Originally posted by rockstrongoI disagree completely. Every Carvin Legacy cab that I've played sounds excessivly bright, farty and brittle. I A/B'd the Mesa 4x12 that I used to have with two of them that belong to a friend of mine, and there was no comparison at all.I like the fact that Carvin makes decent gear at an afforrdable price (I'm not an everything-Carvin-makes-sucks guy), but I hate their cabinets.
I guess we all hear things a bit differently and while I think the Mesa cabs are top notch I honestly can't tell much difference with the Carvin cab with the same speakers.

Originally posted by LockyHaving AB'ed both of them I can tell you first hand that they are worlds apart. Despite both having V30's they sounds quite different. I found the Mesa alot thicker with a larger and deeper bottom end. The Legacy was much thinner and brighter. Also it should be noted that the V30's in Mesa cabs are different then regular Celestion V30's.
Well i've played both too and didn't think there was a big difference but that is interesting about the Mesa V30's being different. You would think they would call them something else then.

Originally posted by LockyThere's a Carvin Legacy cab at my rehearsal space. It is quite a bright cab. I find it alot like a Marshall 1960A cab but with a slightly larger low end. I don't know what they sell for but I wasn't too impressed with the cabs overall. They don't hold a candle to Mesa cabs.
I have to disagree on this one. First of all the Marshalls come with the gt1275's and the Legacy cabs have the V30's which are identical to the Mesa cabs speakers. If you put a traditional Mesa cab next to a Carvin Legacy cab the differences should be slim to none.

Originally posted by charliedangoDecent quality. Bright speakers.
That's kind of an odd statement and half true. The build quality is better than marshall and pretty close to Mesa or the other good cab companies. For speakers they all come with different ones i.e. the Legacy cabs come with Celestion V30's and the V3 cabs come with Celestion Gt7512's. For the money there is no better value on the market (well maybe avatar).

i'll give you $50 for the whole lot which will be enough to buy some old worthless junk

If it helps any I wish I would have never sold my Mark II. I love my JSX but the Mark II just had it's own thing going on and it was a very good thing.
-
Just to clarify I sold this amp a few years ago when I was in my scooping mids phase (thanks for nothing Metallica!) so it may not really be an issue. Didn't want to post something negative in your thread Tony.

Originally posted by WhammylessYes, great dirty and great clean tone. 2 channel amp with shared EQ but I'm able to just set and forget and it works for both types of tones. Great amp, I love my colliseum and will never sell it. The Mark III's are the ones that are 3 channel amps but really only 2 good tones at a time.
I had a 60 watt Mark IIB weq for years and I always had issues matching the volume on the two channels. When it was loud enough on the lead channel the clean would take your head off. I'm under the impression that the IIC+ is very similar in that respect.

Originally posted by LockyI don't think its a Celestion thing as much as it is simply physics.
Maybe not but I really noticed it with my GT75 loaded cab and my other guitarist v30 cab although not as bad with those. Random, my cab was ten years old and it was still there. My Gflex doesn't have the problem but the speakers are slightly angled to keep that from happening so i'm sure that is part of it. -
Celestions are kind of known for their ice pick effect directly in front of them but they sound good everywhere else. You can get some weber beam blockers that fix that or you can put some duct tape on the inside of your grill infront of the speaker cones and your problem should go away. When I had a Marshall 1960 w75's that's what I did and it sounded way better.

I don't think so and someone that was trying to scam you I doubt wants any contact with the police anyway. You have contacted him and the ball is in his court to get his stuff back. I would leave it on my porch and tell him to come get it
